After driving my Y quiky for just over 2 years and doing various modifications I thought it was time to buy an actual project car!

My mate "infamous aidy" picked the car up a good few months ago and he intended to get it on the road and sell it but as usual he lost interest

So I took up the opportunity and bought it off him!

Aidy managed to source a carpet and an original Rallye interior for it.

Finally getting the Rallye to my house I could start stripping the bay down and giving it a lick of paint as it was a different blue to the rest of the car.

I know I should of stripped the bay out of all the components but am hoping when I start earning some serious coin (am on an apprenticeship wage at the min) I can strip the car out and possibly get it dipped.

once the bay was painted I replaced the cracked wind screen.

And this is as it stand for now. Got a JP4 lump to go in it in the next couple of weeks.

Sorry for the long gap in between the up dates. Finally got an engine in the rallye, didn't end up putting the JP4 in as I got hold of a rebuilt GTI lump and this already has the gearbox and sensors attached so made more sense to just drop this on in.

Had some trouble getting the full pump to prime turns out the black full pump relay was the wrong one and we needed a brown one, put a brown on in and it fired up first time!

Now just a few fiddly little bits to do and then it can go for its MOT! :/
